[Evolution] Deleted contacts keep reappearing

[Andrea Vai <andrea vai unipv it>]

Hi,
  if I delete some contacts from one of my local address book, they 
appear again after restarting evo.

I would like to remove them all, so tried to remove the address book 
and create a new one, but the context menu of the address book does 
not show the option to remove it, so I don't know how to remove the 
address book.

It seems to me that the address book is somewhat corrupted... Does 
anybody have a suggestion please?

Evo 3.16.0

Bye,
Andrea
